I think the Obama campaign avoids that issue because its research says that people want judges that interpret the Constitution based on text and original meaning/intent. Obama's vulnerable on the Supreme Court question. He benefits from whatever lack of interest can be maintained.

How you supposed to read this piece of crap when, in the first two paragraphs, the bastard deliberately misstates the policy objectives of the Tea Party and insists on a relationship between the Tea Party and Romney that doesn't exist?

. President Thomas Jefferson's note on the interpretation of the Constitution: "On every question of construction carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to to the probable one in which it was passed.

So I take it you agree with Dworkin and disagree with Althouse? The two professors have offered different explanations as to why Obama avoids the issue. The quotation marks in the title of the post are from Dworkin. My question was directed at Althouse.

Hey - saw your trollwork out there oozing its puss through the sick netherworld of right wing hate. nice work. your 'higher' power will be SO pleased. lmfao. You do realize you're a disgrace to your gender, right? Don't publish my comment I could not care any less what you do. But your 'writing' is a joke, babe. Maybe get a REAL JOB.

Obama didn't even mention I the debates that he appointed 2 women to the Supreme Court. When that one young lady in the town hall asked about women's pay compared to men, Obama talked about Lily Ledbetter Act and didn't mention appointing Sotomayor and Kagan. I'm sure he doesn't want to remind the bitter clingers that Sotomayor sided with the dissent in McDonald and thinks the states or local governments can prevent the bitter clingers from owning handguns in their home for self defense. The NRA has poured in a bunch of money against Obama for the Sotomayor nomination.
